POSTGRESQL bug report

============================================================================
POSTGRESQL BUG REPORT TEMPLATE
============================================================================

Your name : Andreas Theofilu
Your email address : theofilu@eunet.at

System Configuration
---------------------
Architecture (example: Intel Pentium) : Intel Pentium

Operating System (example: Linux 2.0.26 ELF) : Linux 2.2.7 ELF

PostgreSQL version (example: PostgreSQL-6.5.1): PostgreSQL-6.5.1

Compiler used (example: gcc 2.8.0) : egcs-2.91.66

Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
------------------------------------------------
There is a problem with 'ecpg'.
If you've the SQL command

EXEC SQL free <cursorname>

you can't compile the resulting c-file. 'ecpg' translates the above command
into

{ ECPGdeallocate (__LINE__, NULL, "<cursorname"); }

This is wrong, because the function ECPGdeallocate has only 2 (two!)
parameters. It should be translated into

{ ECPGdeallocate (__LINE__, "<cursorname"); }

For a fix look below.

Please describe a way to repeat the problem. Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Create a file with the SQL command

EXEC SQL free <cursorname>

Let it through the preprocessor 'ecpg' and try to compile it with the
C-Compiler.

If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This can easily be fixed. Change line 988 of file
'postgresql-6.5.1/src/interfaces/ecpg/preproc/preproc.y' to

fprintf (yyout, "{ ECPGdeallocate (__LINE__, \"%s\");", $1);

This fixed the bug here :-).
